When you look into the night sky a few years from now, you might be saying to yourself, "There’s a vehicle built by Penn State students on the moon right now." That voyage to the moon is the focus of the student-run Lunar Lion team’s efforts, and they recently brought on two new team members — both geosciences majors — to help plan the team’s lunar research.

Penn State's Lunar Lion team has announced that it is withdrawing from the Google Lunar XPRIZE competition -- however, the program continues with the goal of landing a spacecraft on the Moon within the next decade. The program, with private sponsor support, over time has evolved into an organization comprising hundreds of students from a wide range of disciplines including engineering, business, information sciences, communications and astronomy.

In 2015, Penn State’s Lunar Lion team plans to put an unmanned spacecraft on the moon. In 2013, the ambitious project is putting cutting edge NASA equipment in students’ hands.
Through a recent agreement between the University's Applied Research Laboratory and NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, students will be able to test bipropellant rocket thrusters powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen – the type that will play a crucial role in putting Penn State’s spacecraft on the moon’s surface in the race for Google Lunar XPRIZE.

The Penn State-focused episode will highlight the College of Agricultural Science's Turfgrass Science Program, which is researching ways to increase the resilience of athletic playing surfaces to help reduce the number and severity of head and leg injuries. Also, Penn Staters have created a free mobile app, downloaded by farmers around the country, called DairyCents, which tracks feed costs and income information to help them with financial planning. The episode also will feature the Lunar Lion team, a group of Penn State students, faculty and engineers throughout the University who are involved in a competition to build a spacecraft to land on the moon. Additional segments include men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers and THON.
